A New Addition to My Wardrobe...

I ordered this skirt (at the prodding of my mother) with a free shipping code and received it today. I LOVE IT! It is very soft and made from stretchy cotton, but isn't cheap looking. It is form skimming but not tight and the color (I picked navy) is just right! I plan on getting the brown, black, and gray versions in the near future!

Apparently, Mimi, you and I share "frumpdom," since *all* my clothes are from Lands' End. For awhile I wasn't buying anything from them because the colors were *so* garish, but last year they returned to the rich, deep tones and classic styles that I had always loved, and I promptly broke the bank replenishing my wardrobe. Can't wait to see their new fall catalogue!

This looks like a great skirt. I tried it on my "virtual model" and I am wondering if it is fairly straight when on or if it is full and swingy. I'd rather a little swingy! I think I am going to order the brown one! So pretty.

I tried to leave a comment yesterday, to the effect of Mimi's "Don't worry about it" -- I can't remember it all, but it stated that I've been a frump basically ever since I started grade school (Mom: "Let's go shopping for dresses!" Me: "I HAVE a dress"), so frumpdom is nothing new to me. No offense taken, believe me -- nothing anyone could say could possibly be as bad as some of the comments my mother had.
